J:NUTES !ARK COMMISSION JUNE 20, 1991 Sanders replied that he did not see the access being developed for a couple of years. The Commission is proposing to develop the Water Works trail this year, however, development of the access from Burke Lane to the trail will probably not happen for a couple of years. Wehrle asked the width of other trail easements in the City. Sanders thought that most of the other trail easements are 15 feet in width. The Aspen Circle easement is 20 feet wide, however, that easement involves utilities as well. Sanders estimated that the width of the walkway itself would be 5 feet. Carlson stated that he would like to request that the City vacate the west 15 feet of its 30 foot easement adjacent to his property. Sanders and Wehrle stated that they had no problem with that request. Wehrle pointed out that Mr. Carlson should be aware that plans would be for a walking trail on the remaining 15 feet of easement for neighborhood access to the proposed Water Works trail. Carlson stated that he had no problem whatsoever with that. • Morelan declared that the Park Commission's position is that 15 feet of easement is all that would be required adjacent to Lot 10 on Burke Lane for development of a walking trail as access to the proposed Water Works trail. Motion seconded by Fitzgerald. Motion carried 6 - 0. ACKNOWLEDGE- Wehrle acknowledged and thanked Little Canada Charities MENT OF Plus for their recent donations of $25,000 to the DONATIONS general Park Fund, and $20,000 towards playground equipment for Nadeau Park.
